I first started playing billiard when I was a teen - back then we only knew it as "pool" - and…read moreuntil I discovered the Hippodrome, about 10 years ago, each place with tables was sanitized, i.e., each gave the impression of being someone's basement made into a game room. Ah, then there is the Hippodrome. Its many "I've seen quite a few players in my day" Brunswick tables, players who are more like characters that could be extras in "The Hustler," vintage photos of players and furniture from days gone by, and the wonderfully amiable and helpful greeters/owners Andy and his grandfather define the Hippodrome as the only venue where one should pursue billiards. And the bonus: play here a few times and you have a community of billiard-focused friends. The bottom line: the Hippodrome is a jewel of Western New York. Errol Craig Sull

I normally go to Captain's or Wacky Wings to play pool, both of which are nearby. I'm surprised I…read morehad never heard of this place prior to seeing it on Groupon. I purchased a Groupon for $15, which included 2 hours of pool for 2 people and $10 toward appetizers. Monte Carlo is located just east of Dundas and Dixie, but is not visible from the main roads, which made it hard to find. It's located in a fairly old strip mall that I usually drive by without giving a second glance. The bar itself is an older looking establishment, but very well kept. There are many pool tables and a handful of snooker tables that take up the large space, which consists of one long main room, and two smaller rooms. The staff were accommodating when I informed them that I had a Groupon. They even gave us a reminder when we had 5 minutes left in our promotional 2 hour limit, which was very nice of them. The drinks here are decently priced, with a beer costing about $3.50. The appetizers are decently priced as well, but don't expect anything special. I ordered the jalepeno poppers and they were clearly just heated from a frozen state, with some being colder than others. While the food was just alright, the actual pool tables were quite good! The tables are well kept, and ours didn't have any rips or bumps that would've impacted our game. There was ample space between tables, so at no point did we ever feel cramped for space. The cues are also decent and plentiful. I'd definitely recommend this place to others for those who want a pure pool experience. For a night out, I'd still recommend Wacky Wings because the food and entertainment is incomparable.

We were driving from Niagara to Mississauga and it was lunchtime. We have stayed at the Jordan Inn…read moreand the Inn-on-the-Twenty several times. It was a no-brainer to detour 5 km to the Jordan House Tavern for lunch. We were not disappointed; the food is as good as we remembered. Thursday is Fish and Chips special, $9 after 5 PM [US$7.50 for our American friends]. But it was lunch so fish and chips was $15; well worth the price. Instead of ordering two orders we ordered one with an extra piece of fish for six dollars and shared. It was more than enough, in fact we left some on the plate. As it should be, the fish was the highlight. A very light crisp batter that was almost a tempura. I remember it as a bit thicker and a bit doughy. This was so much better. Must be a new chef. The fish was perfectly cooked, moist and tasty. The fries were good as well, as was the coleslaw and there was a nice dipping sauce. The drinks, a Bloody Caesar for my wife and a Cremore lager for me, were just pennies over six dollars each. Service was quick, efficient and pleasant. The extra plate for sharing arrived without asking. This may have been the best Fish and chips I have ever eaten. A visit to the charming town of Jordan station and Cave Springs winery is a bonus. Jordan House Tavern will remain on our 'favourites' list.

We had lunch here today for the first time…read more We were on a wine tour and this was our stop halfway through the day. My husband and I both ordered the Cobb salad with blue cheese dressing. The serving was generous with plenty of egg, ham, bacon and cheese. The lettuce underneath was fresh and crisp and the salads tasted great. The service wasn't bad, but could have been better. We were with another couple and asked for separate bills. When the bill arrived, everything was on one so we had to ask them to take it back and separate it. We also waited a while for the server to come back with the credit card machine. The meals were quite reasonably priced. We may return, but would most likely try another restaurant in the area.
